Wetsuit Brand Huub Backs British Triathlons

Wetsuit and apparel specialist Huub has signed a strategic and long-term sponsorship agreement with the UK’s two biggest and most popular Triathlons, the Blenheim and London Triathlons.

The deal was negotiated by Limelight Sports, the agency of the active world, who took over the management of both events from IMG in 2019.

The Bloodwise Blenheim Palace Triathlon takes place on 30-31 May and the London Triathlon takes place on 8-9 August at the ExCel Centre and includes a cycle route on closed roads through central London. Both events attract thousands of participants, from first timers to seasoned amateurs.

Huub has secured a multi-year agreement across several categories. The sponsorship fee will also include providing participants with an extensive range of products and services. This new deal will add to Huub’s portfolio of sponsorships which includes an agreement with several of the UK’s top triathletes including the Brownlee brothers.

Limelight Sports CCO, James Robinson, commented, “It is fantastic to have a leading brand such as Huub involved in our two major triathlon events.
